Seven bucks an hour Bills stacked on the counter Got a baby on the way they’ll have to feed
His pride is gettin’ torn-down His confidence is worn-out This ain’t the way he dreamed that it would be
But he won’t ever ask why ‘Cause he’s made up his mind
He’s a fighter, got that fire When they thought he’d fade away Throws a fist up, as he gets up Feelin’ stronger everyday When he gets down on his knees He finds the courage to believe He’s a fighter, he’s a fighter Who inspires me
She’s got no time for make-up ‘Cause she’s got three boys to wake up Never thought she’d have to raise them on her own
And some days she feels like cryin’ But she’s holdin’ on, survivin’ On the love that makes their little house a home
And she sees it in their eyes All the reasons why
Yeah, she’s a fighter, got that fire When you thought she’d fade away Throws a fist up, as she gets up Feelin’ stronger everyday When she gets down on her knees She finds the courage to believe She’s a fighter, she’s a fighter Who inspires me, ooh, oh, ooh, oh She inspires me, yeah
She’s been here before And she’s only eight years old But she knows the name of every nurse she sees
And though she don’t like the chemo She waits it out, never losin’ hope that Someday soon she’ll be cancer-free
She’s a fighter, got that fire When they thought she’d fade away Throws a fist up, keeps her head up Feelin’ stronger everyday When she gets down on her knees She finds the courage to believe She’s a fighter, she’s a fighter Who inspires, yeah He’s a fighter, he’s a fighter Who inspires me He inspires me
You’re my inspiration, my inspiration, yeah You’re my inspiration, my inspiration, yeah You are my inspiration, my inspiration, yeah You’re my inspiration, my inspiration, yeah
